2FA setup is not working. Trying to add an authenticator app and the QR code never generates. Same issue reported in:


https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/28465521998099-Unable-to-fix-2FA-everything-errors


It appears this is a product bug. Need help from Support so I can add 2FA to my account please. I'm also unable to add new emails to my account. All account changes either fail directly or just don't load. I've tried multiple browsers, disabled all extensions, incognito, etc.


"There was an error while trying to add .... to your account."

The 2FA QR code issue has resolved itself with time - that's set up now.


I'm still unable to add new emails to my account though. I've tried various emails and the UI is unable to add any of them (same error message as above)

Hi there,


Welcome to Box Community and glad to assist!


Great to hear your Multi-factor authentication issue is fixed! Have you checked if the email you're replacing it with is already registered on Box? Just a reminder, one email can't be used for two accounts.


Hope it helps! 

Yes, the email I am trying to add is a new service account alias that has not existed prior to now... so it's not registered elsewhere on Box.
